Metropolitan Kansas City's
Long-Range Transportation Plan

Plan Goals | what we want to achieve

The policy framework serves as the foundation of the long-range transportation plan and directs the development of objectives, strategies and key measures to track regional progress over time. Additionally, the policy framework plays an important role in articulating the region’s position on state and federal transportation investments and legislation.

As part of the update process, key stakeholders, committees and staff modified the plan’s original nine goals, added a new goal and introduced categories that align with those used in the Creating Sustainable Places initiative — vibrant, connected and green.

MARC used the plan goals to help select transportation projects that
should be funded in the future. The MARC Board of Directors adopted these revised policy goals in January 2014.
